Hello and welcome to my Sunday Summary where I share snippets of my life, set my stitching goals, and you get to see any progress I’ve made on my last To Do list.
Our crazy weather has continued being weird. The snow was gone and golfers were coming out to enjoy our course. Then yesterday overnight a horrific wind came up resulting in a power outage for 14 hours. No internet meant no posting and no power meant not finishing getting the last pieced border on my test quilt, but stitching time did happen since I have quilts in the binding pile. It was nice to not have the tv on, but my poor DH was at a loss with no remote working to keep him entertained with his favourite pastime; channel flipping. Instead he hopped on his cart and attempted to play a couple of holes of golf and kept coming upstairs to the clubhouse where we had a couple of committee meetings going on. This morning we woke up to snow on the course and the forecast is for more of it over the next week. 😲
My Last To-Do Goals:
Now it’s time to see how I did with my goals for the week:
1. Get caught up with my SAHRR. Not quite caught up yet. 😢
✅2. Get the pattern test quilt to flimsy stage by the end of the week to meet my deadline. The last pieced border is going on as soon as my post goes live and my cutting table is almost cleared off. 😁
✅3. Keep working on the commission quilt. Flimsy is complete. Just need to get it sandwiched and quilted. 😁
4. For a break from these intense projects, I’ll try to get some progress on the memory quilts, the quilt for Nova Scotia or the Butterflies and Owls projects. No progress😢
✅5. Do not allow my squirrel, Samantha and her friends to sidetrack me from my list projects! 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️. No being sidetracked! I stuck to my list and almost crossed off 2 huge projects! 😁
This Week’s goals:
So it’s time to see what goals I have on my shortened list this week:

Stitchin’ Time
Kate from Life in Pieces hosts a weekly linky party to help us keep to our goals of stitching every day!

Stash Report
I like to link with Donna @ QuiltPaintCreate to keep track of fabric in and out of my stash. Last year I didn’t manage to use as much stash fabric as I planned since I don’t get to go to the studio and play on the long arm, but I’ve been working on finishing quilts on my dsm. 🤩
- Fabric Used: 38 yards
- Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
- Fabric Previous Balance: 100 yards
- Fabric Purchased this year: 0 yards
- Balance in stash to use this year: 62 yards
* my goal is to lessen my stash by 100 yards this year but realistically I’ll be happy with whatever I manage.
* any fabric used from the scrap bins, was gifted or a prize; doesn’t count as stash!
